Gljúfrabúi translates to “one that lives within the canyon,” and that’s exactly where this waterfall resides. Found tucked away between a small entry between two rocks, you will find a legendary Icelandic waterfall that makes you feel like you’re in a bubble from the outside world. Although this waterfall is only a short five minute walk away from the incredible Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, this is a less visited attraction and doesn’t draw a big of crowds, which makes it a bit more exclusive.
There are only a few conveniently placed rocks that lead into the canyon to the waterfall that are above water, so be careful! We would recommend having waterproof shoes / boots on to walk inside and avoid getting your shoes wet.
There is a gigantic rock at the bottom of the waterfall that people climb on to snag an epic picture looking up at the waterfall.
This stop features another amazing waterfall, Seljalandsfoss, that is just a five minute walk from Gljúfrabúi.
Parking: Free
There is a huge shared parking lot with Seljalandsfoss with plenty of parking
